Welcome back to the Weekly Sale Column. Each week, the latest sale will offer plenty of opportunities to make changes to an existing deck, or it might even inspire you to build something completely new. Remember, the weekly sale ends Sunday night at 11:59 PM EST, so make sure to get your order in before then.
For this week's Labor Day sale, we're putting the Goblins to work with Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin.
What is Another Day, Another Goblin?
Another Day, Another Goblin is a Mono-Red Goblin deck that gets aggressive early, powers up Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, and turns each attack into an ever-growing army.
From there, the deck can quickly overwhelm the table through combat, sacrifice Goblins for value, or assemble compact combos to close out the game.

Krenko's in Charge
Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin may only enter as a three-mana 1/1, but every attack puts a +1/+1 Counter on him and creates Goblin tokens equal to his power.
Even a modest power boost can snowball quickly, especially once Haste effects let Krenko start swinging before opponents have much time to react.
And once Krenko gets rolling, every combat step just makes things worse and worse for your opponents.
Clocking In
The deck wants to start aggressive and stay aggressive. Goblin Guide applies pressure immediately, while Stadium Headliner gives the deck another cheap attacker for the early turns.
Once the first few one- and two-mana Goblins start causing a ruckus, the Goblin Lords step up to keep the pressure building.
Goblin Warchief discounts Goblins by
and grants Haste, while Goblin King and Goblin Chieftain make the whole army hit harder.
The deck also has plenty of ways to keep the board full without leaning entirely on Krenko.
Legion Warboss, Goblin Rabblemaster, and Howlsquad Heavy all help keep the army growing with more tokens at the beginning of combat. Better yet, they don't even have to join the attack themselves.
Before long, a few cheap Goblins can produce more attackers than the table knows what to do with.
Everyone's on the Clock
Not everyone clocking in is here just to go face. Grenzo, Havoc Raiser can turn successful hits into Goad or cards from opposing libraries, while Treasure Nabber puts all those shiny-looking mana rocks your friends keep bragging about to work for you instead.
The deck has plenty of other answers tucked into its Goblin package, too.
Gempalm Incinerator doubles as virtually Uncounterable Creature removal and card draw, Goblin Chirurgeon can Sacrifice one Goblin to protect another, and Hexing Squelcher makes opposing interaction considerably more painful during an important turn.
For a deck packed with Goblins, the crew is surprisingly well-equipped for just about anything.
Clocking Out Early
And of course, there's no need to win every game by simply sending a mountain of Goblins into combat. Goblin Recruiter can stack the top of your library to set up Conspicuous Snoop, which can borrow Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker's Activated Ability once Kiki-Jiki reaches the top.
From there, Snoop can make as many copies of itself as you need, fueling lethal damage with Goblin Bombardment or enough mana through Skirk Prospector to repeatedly activate Aggravated Assault.
So, even when going wide isn't getting the job done, the Goblins have no problem ending the shift ahead of schedule.
Final Thoughts
If there's one thing Krenko does well, it's turning a ragtag team of Goblins into a surprisingly organized problem that the whole table needs to solve. So, if this sounds like your kind of workday, the Labor Day sale has plenty of Goblins worth picking up before Sunday night at 11:59 PM EST.
